Bradley Nickolas MacDougall

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bradley Nickolas MacDougall on Friday, August 9th, 2024, at the age of 18 years.  Born on January 13th, 2006, at the Regina General Hospital, Bradley’s journey began and ended in the same place, but in between, he touched the lives of many with his fierce spirit and unwavering loyalty.

Bradley tried his hand at many sports in his younger years — martial arts, football, soccer, basketball, and wrestling — but it was boxing that captured his interest the most.  He had a unique style and an awesome look, something that set him apart in everything he did.  In his free time, Bradley loved socializing with friends, listening to music, playing video games, and watching his favorite TV shows, particularly horror movies and “The Walking Dead.”  Baking was a secret passion of his, though he might not have been thrilled to know that his talent was noticed by others.  Whether he was on his skateboard or BMX, Bradley was always in motion, a fighter in both spirit and action.

Bradley will be forever remembered by those who loved him most — his mother Ashley; father, Joey; brother, Logan; and sisters, Eden and Akaydea.  He was a beloved nephew, cousin, grandson, and friend, surrounded by family who cherished him.  He leaves behind his aunts: Cheryl MacDougall, Adrianna Voth, and Lisa Lewis and their families; uncles, Thomas MacDougall and Aaron Bilawchuk and their families; his best friend, Logan Ferguson; his Grandma Barb Ariss and Grandpa Barry Bilawchuk; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.  Bradley was predeceased by his grandmother, Linda Bilawchuk; and grandfathers, Bradley MacDougall Sr. and Grant Ariss.

Bradley’s spirit was one not meant for this earth, yet he made a profound impact during his time here.  He was one of the most beautiful souls, enduring so much at such a young age, with a resilience that inspired everyone around him.  Bradley attended Empire School and three different high schools in Moose Jaw, though he never found the perfect fit.  This fall, he was set to embark on an adult upgrading program to complete his Grade 11.  

Bradley was a true wild spirit, remembered most for his strong will and his relentless dedication to his family and friends.  He had a way of uplifting those around him, treating everyone like family and making them feel special.  His stubbornness was part of his charm, a testament to his unwavering determination.  When Bradley made up his mind, there was no changing it — it was his way or the highway.  Despite his stubbornness and occasional sarcasm, he was always there for the people he cared about the most.

Though his time with us was far too short, the love and support from his family and friends remind us just how special Bradley was.  His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, as we cherish the moments we shared with him.

Rest in peace, Bradley.
Your wild spirit will forever be with us.
